5.8 ENGRAVING
The Triax QUATTRO key-cutting machine can use the R12 clamp and W146 cutter to engrave texts on various
items, such as the head or stem of keys (flat, laser, dimple) or medals, plates, etc.
The items can be in several types of material: aluminium, brass, steel, etc.
Duration of the cutter depends on the hardness of the material to be engraved and the size of the text (number
of lines) (see indicative table).
* the keys and medals must be metal.
Engraving on other materials (wood, paper, ceramics, etc.) is not allowed.
* the maximum dimensions of the part to be engraved are: 38x40 mm (see fig. 21)
